Medical malpractice can be a lot of different things. At its core, it is a failure of the medical caregivers to provide reasonable care. Doctors, physician assistants, nurses and all other professionals have specialized training. Colorado law protects patients when they rely on the expertise of their medical care team. The standard for whether certain actions or inactions amount to medical malpractice is the reasonableness of each care provider in the situation. 

The average settlement for a medical malpractice lawsuit is the amount of the victim’s increased medical bills plus compensation for pain and suffering. The amount of pain and suffering depends on the severity of the harm as well as whether there are caps for pain and suffering compensation in place in the state. The victim can also recover or loss of income, if applicable. The average settlement for a medical malpractice lawsuit is unique to the damages incurred by the victim along with pain and suffering compensation that is proportional to the severity of the harm that occurs. 

There are multiple ways to report medical malpractice. First, you can make a complaint with the State of Colorado. While this is helpful to hold the care provider accountable and provide protections for future patients, it’s not enough by itself to ensure that you get the compensation that reflects your suffering.
